Sorry that this is coming abck into my memory in "chunks"
it was specifically noted "that the 290 tune was legal in all 50 states"
so I guess that means it still meets the standards.
I think what you are seeing is... with the original 260hp, they needed to balance getting a product out to market fast, with the time needed to really understand the engine capabilities. Remember, when the Turbo Kappas were released in Aug 2006, they then had a shutdown for several weeks when the had to adjust the mix to clear up carbon in exhaust issues. A clear indication they were still figuring this out...
Which in my mind helps clarify... this engine is capable of more... the initially came up with a safe but powerfull mix, and they just needed more time to continue working out the specifics of how and why. I fully believe that this will come down to, as Brentil said... a retune and two new sensors.
